The Mind/Body Prescription
Healing the Body, Healing the Pain
Book • 1999
In 'The Mind/Body Prescription,' Dr. John E. Sarno presents his theory on tension myositis syndrome (TMS), a condition he believes is responsible for chronic back, neck, and limb pain.
Sarno argues that TMS is a psychosomatic illness where the body manifests pain as a distraction from unconscious emotional issues.
He proposes that by understanding and addressing these underlying emotional factors, patients can alleviate their symptoms.
The book outlines his approach to diagnosing and treating TMS, which has been controversial but has also helped many patients according to his supporters.
